Seat Belt Reminder Disable

It took me many times for it to finally take or keep the command of me wanting it off. At one point I inserted the seatbelt and unbuckled it a lot more than just the (4) times is tells you to do and then it finally worked.

On the 25' I have not found anything I wanted to disable or turn off that has not been a problem. The software system is not correct. I keep dogging on Ford and they deserve every bit of it. They release vehicle after vehicle with problems right out of the factory. I've been a Ford guy my entire life but I'm at the point that I'm not so sure I will buy another Ford. I'm tired off their repeated poor quality and warranty issues.
I try do all the software myself after many arguments with for all the way to my 2021 F150 Powerboost. The mother ship sent down an ota and practically bricked my computer. Finally got Ford to agree to replace the apim and tcu.
Only way that fixed it.
Software is a pain in the arse and can be expensive.
Then got to deal with that clunk noise at low speeds. They don’t hear it and even told them to stick your ear on the struts. The mechanical stuff really pisses me off since these parts have been around for years. Still, they manage to screw up. Then when I get this squared away, have to see if they can fix the out of alignment moonroof shade without screwing up the interior.
Never ends.

Does the car for the pass app tell us when it has had an update? I usually got to the update screen in the infotainment screen under settings I think (hope I'm looking in the right spot) and check the version and as of right now I think last update was in May of 2024. I have it connected to my wifi and I have auto updates on to update like at 1am, but how do I know if it ever gets an update? Do we get a notice when we start it in the morning or do we have to manually look and figure it out?

Not on my 25 ST…
But I can tell something was changed when the ab files are compared or when I can tell something has changed like that seat belt nonsense.

Updated: in the infotainment system there is a breakdown on how to disable this. You follow the same steps as stated above but you do it right away after turning the accessory power on. You do not need to wait for the seatbelt light to turn off. Hope this helps others!
Thanks, was finally able to get it to turn off, hoping it sticks.
